Ran across this labeled as a WC53 and realized, "No, its a GMC." Anyone know what this is? I'd never seen one before.

Hi Jim

That's a Chevy 1 1/2 ton G-506 panel truck or K-51.

That truck has made it to the old tower park shows a few times. It was modified by the arc as a donut and coffee wagon. It has roll up side windows on it. There is a picture floating around with an arc worker hanging out the window passing a donut out during WWII

Hey thanks!

Those are totally cool! I'd love to find one.

There's something up with the wheels too, maybe even the axles.

The owner might have swapped from 7.50 x 20 rims and tyres to 9:00 x 20 or thereabouts. Does the front axle end look standard?

I think the front axle may be original as I believe I can just make out some of the heavy ribbing on the diff cover.
The freewheel hubs are certainly not original.
